Actually I did make a game once.

You can find it here.
This was my submission to Ludum dare 29 and was primarily what got me exited about the idea of creating games in short periods of time.
It was the first time I actually managed to get GameMaker to do what I wanted (sort of).
Yes, I'm using GameMaker. It's quick to prototype and simple enough for me to experiment with design. Also, I suck at programming anything other than gml (I do plan on learning Unity with C# at some point).
here is the link to the Ludum Dare Page for my game.
